Metallica is heading into 2026 with a full touring schedule already in motion, and they’ve just added two more shows to the end of it. The band has announced a No Repeat Weekend at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, on November 19 and 21, timed to the venue’s 25th anniversary.
The band put it plainly in their announcement: “Just as we’re getting ready to head out on the road for the first shows of ’26, we’ve added two more gigs to the calendar to wrap up the year. Join us at the intimate Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, to celebrate their 25th anniversary… as we like to say, they’re just getting started!”
“You know the drill: two nights, two totally different set lists with no songs repeated, two unique special guests, and one great weekend!” the band continues. “Joining us on November 19 will be our tour buddies Suicidal Tendencies, and on November 21, our new friends Spiritbox.”
The ticketing breakdown: single-day and two-day tickets go on sale Friday, April 10, at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT, with both dates also available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office from Saturday, April 11. Fifth Members — the band’s fan club — get early access via presale beginning Wednesday, April 8 at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT.
Metallica framed the weekend in the terms their fanbase has come to expect from the format: “Two nights, two totally different set lists with no songs repeated, two unique special guests, and one great weekend!”
The No Repeat Weekend concept was introduced during the band’s M72 world tour and has become a reliable draw, essentially a guarantee that fans attending both nights will hear two entirely different shows. At a venue like Mohegan Sun Arena, which holds around 10,000 people, the scale is considerably more contained than what the band typically works with. The arena sits within a sprawling entertainment and gaming complex along the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut, accessible from New York, Boston, Hartford, and Providence.
Metallica noted the company they’ll be joining on the venue’s roster: “We hope to see you there as we join a long list of artists who have performed at the arena, including Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Lady Gaga, Chris Rock, Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Joel, Beyoncé, and many more. Twenty-five years and over 3,000 events later, we’re honored to help celebrate this milestone.”
The Connecticut dates cap what is shaping up to be one of the band’s busier years. Before November, Metallica will make history as the first hard rock band to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with a residency called “Life Burns Faster” scheduled for eight initial dates in October. The No Repeat Weekend format carries over there as well, with no songs repeated between each Thursday and Saturday pairing throughout the run.
